[Q] - MIUI 2.1.20. Notifications bar (notifications + toggles) removed in latest ROM?

Noticed in the new version of the ROM (which is excellent as always) has removed the 2 tabs which could allow separate sections for Notifications and Toggles.
Just wondering, anyway to get this type of display back? Became quite accustomed to it!

Setting > Toggle Settings > Page
Thanks mate! Now I can jump to 2.1.20

[MOD][JB][T]Stock ROM upgrade all-in-one from peetr_

Content:
18 notification toggles from lidroid
Shutdown menu with navigation bar switch on/off
Transparent navigation bar
Transparent statusbar
Transparent lockscreen (with landscape layout)
Installation:
Deodexed rom is needed.
Make ROM backup first.
Install from recovery.
Bugs:
Switching nav.bar quickly on/off, returns your wallpaper to the default one. Live wallpaper is not affected.
Don´t switch navigation bar, when you are in camera. Camera cannot handle starting of .SystemUI service. (if you are in camera without buttons, go to album first and switch the nav. bar back there)
Expanded statusbar ends above the navigation bar, even if it´s switched off.
PhotoEditor buttons under nav. bar.
Don´t know...
Instructions:
Shutdown menu with notification toggle is invoked by pressing hw power button and tapping shutdown
To allow navigation bar to switch, you must allow superuser access
Notification toggles have settings in your app drawer named SystemUI settings (all buttons can be turned off)
When the nav. bar is annoying somewhere, switch it off.
Wipe lockscreen data in app settings.
For enabling Home rotation, add "home.land.on=true" in your build.prop
Disclaimer:
I am not reponsible for anything bad that happens to you or your device, by flashing these modifications.

Wow,. I'm glad I made a nandroid backup and didn't ' just' try it out.

Did I help? please press thanks button
Is your rom deodexed?
Good one. No it isn't. Maybe I'll do that some other time. For now god luck with your mod
And I'm not sure but don't mods like this belong in themes and apps section?

Did I help? please press thanks button
Well, actually it's not app, it's not theme, and I developed the mod (even if it's dirty). So I think it belongs here.
Hello very good job man
Great MOD :thumbup:
It is possible to made the same MOD with:
1 focus press for enabling
2 focus press for disabling
I don't try already your MOD... but I think if I long press in standby mode for fast capture it will disable the nav bar, right???
Thanks again
Edit: can you share an other link, because it temporarily disable
Of course, the count of presses could be reduced, but it's not a good idea. Still the main idea is well running phone without unwanted actions.
I'll wait until tomorrow and if the link won't be back online, I will reupload.
Edit: Link is back online.

But How can this be done on the v, it doesn't have a focus key :banghead:
It can be done with proximity sensor, but I am not sure about impact on battery in this case. I will try to test it.

Well, try to look in /dev/.keycheck file, if any content is in there, after pressing focus button. If not, there is probably something important missing in the rom.
Maybe init.d is not supported.
I suppose, you flashed this mod in recovery.
You can try to run the script in terminal and watch for some error - "/system/bin/mksh /system/bin/navbar.sh"

Hybrid Properties – DPI / Layout / Colors
Settings / Hybrid Properties / (swipe right)
Interface – Here you can define your workspace layout and assign global properties (Phone UI / Phablet UI / Tablet UI).
Apps that have been set up manually will override global properties. These are simply preset options available to the user as a base.
Apps – Define individual properties to customize how the app displays. These settings apply only to the selected app.
Lock Screen - The lock screen is controlled by the "Android System" app. Make changes to this app to control DPI, Layout and Color.
Apps - Size vs Layout
Size allows you to change the DPI of the selected app
Layout changes the outlook of the app by defining which screen size it should use (changes may be slight or drastic, this is up to the app)
When layout is adjusted, sometimes you may have to adjust the size to make sure items fit neatly.
Colors
Settings - Hybrid Properties - Interface - GLOBAL COLOR (enable)
For every app installed (system apps & user app) you can set individual colors for the status bar and navigation bar. This can be done globally or on a per app basis. In order to enable hybrid colors you MUST enable per app color
Color - Transparent Status bar/Navigation bar
Transparency for both the status bar an nav bar should be set only on the launcher (default launcher or installed launcher of choice). Setting transparency on some individual apps will return "garbage" as apps don't draw under the status and nav bar. It's best to set a solid color for the status bar or nav bar in individual apps.
Color - PIE Colors
PIE color is based on status icon color, navigation glow color and navigation button color.
Tools
Reset properties
Backup preferences
Restore Preferences
Delete Backup
Expert Mode – this gives you deeper control over the hybrid engine. Options included are overall DPI and UI settings and extra options per-app.
Once expert mode is selected, under the interface option you would now have access to the lockscreen slider and Global Apps control.
The lockscreen slider allows you to change the DPI of your lockscreen, while the global apps section allows you to change the settings for all system apps or user app at once.
On a per-app bases you now have an extra menu with three options when expert mode is enabled (Expand / Force / Large)
Expand – displays app in full screen mode
Force – force scaling through other hosts such as widgets
Large – Force app to display as though it were displaying for a large tablet
I think everyone pretty much understands Expand.
Force
In short, it allows widgets to succumb to hybrid properties.
Widgets depend on the launcher to define its size/layout parameters. So normally, even if you setup an app to follow a custom layout, the widget ignores these scaling values and uses its default settings as dictated by the launcher. Force allows you to override this system and the hybrid values of the app would be forced on to the widget.
Use this feature cautiously and enable it only if you need it.
Large
Sometimes, changing the layout of an app to Tablet UI isn't enough to actually change the layout of the app. For such apps, enable the large screen option to see the difference.
For some apps, enabling Large give it a whole new layout, additional to the available layout options.
Again, use this option only if needed.

Expanded Desktop Mode (Full Screen Pie Mode)
Long press the power button and select Full Screen (PIE) – this removes your status bar and navigation bar and activates the PIE controls. All screen real estate is utilized without stretching or distorting your homescreen.
The stock Paranoid Android launcher has the option to use a pinch gesture to toggle this mode.
There is also a quick setting PIE tile to toggle PIE mode
- To activate PIE without activating Full Screen mode (PIE and status bar at the same time), you need to set your nav bar to 0%. Do this by going into
Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> (swipe right) -> Interface -> (slide nav bar to 0%).
Because the status bar is still visible, PIE will not show status information when activated like this as such information would be redundant.
Reserved
Paranoid Android - Main Features
PIE is an unobtrusive replacement for the stock on-screen navigation buttons. It stays hidden off-screen, only to be brought to life by a predefined gesture. PIE can be manifested on all four sides of the devices.
PIE isn't just about a new navigation experience, either – it also offers customizable colors, status information (like clock, date, et cetera), notifications, and toggles. One nice thing about PIE is that it's dynamic, meaning its size will be defined by the device's dpi; in other words, you won't see a stretched phone UI on a tablet.
Hybrid Mode
This Rom features true Hybrid Mode… it lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even system components individually. Remember, android is modular, everything is an app (Lockscreen, navigation bar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets and your regular apps of course).
Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on. This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.
For every element that you like, chose a mode (Phone UI, Phablet UI, Tablet UI) and/or a size. Regardless of the mode selected, you are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to.
You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot.
What is DPI?
Dots Per Inch. As the name defines, DPI is the number of dots per inch of a screen.
In PA, we can modify DPI of any & every app or service independently.
Lower DPI value, would cause a general shrinkage, & higher DPI value, would cause the app to get bigger.
In general, we have a few standard DPI values:
xHDPI: 320 DPI | HDPI: 240 DPI | MDPI: 160 DPI | LDPI: 120 DPI
Per App Color
Part of the Hybrid Engine allows you to color the status bar and navigation bar for individual apps. This completely transforms the user interface and allows for customization on a completely different level.
HALO (2.0)
What this update brings...
Version 2.0 of HALO retains all the original functionality of HALO as described below, with the added bonus of
1. The actual notification is displayed as opposed to just the notification text
2. As a result of point 1, some apps can provide you with a "richer" notification experience (notification widgets).
The most common use of notification widgets would be found in music apps, however, any app can create this type of notification.
Remember, this is dependent on the app itself. HALO does not control this behavior and is not responsible for creating the widget.
As long as the feature is supported by the app however, it can be displayed in HALO without the need for any additional HALO configurations.
These notification widgets can be interacted with via multi-touch. One touch to drag HALO and hold the notification on screen, the second to select an option in the notification widget.
Activation
Pull down (status bar) or swipe up (PIE) the notification shade, tap HALO icon
NOTE:
Animator duration scale must be turned on, at least .5x or higher (Don't know what this is, don't touch it)
Deactivation
Reverse HALO Checked* - Double tap HALO, hold on second tap and drag over red X
Reverse HALO Unchecked* - Tap and drag HALO over the red X
*Reverse HALO option: Settings - Toolbars - Reverse HALO
Move HALO - Same as deactivate but DO NOT place over the red X. Instead, drag to screen location you would like HALO to dock at.
Settings - Toolbars - (HALO)
HALO Policy - Choose either blacklist or white list
Blacklist - select the apps that WILL NOT appear in HALO
Whitelist - select the apps that WILL appear in HALO
Hide HALO after activity - HALO will appear for incoming tasks and scroll out of sight after a short while.
Reverse HALO - Swap the task switching and moving gestures
Re-size HALO - Select between predefined HALO sizes
Pause Active App - When opening an app in HALO, the underlying/active app will be paused
Gestures
Swipe Up (marker 1) - Dismiss Notification
(persistent notification CANNOT be dismissed - just like your status bar)
Swipe Up (marker 2) - Dismiss All Notifications
Swipe Down (marker 1) - Hide HALO
(HALO immediately goes into hidden state, bypassing normal hide delay)
Swipe Down (marker 2) - Silence HALO (New notifications will not cause HALO to pop-up until the user "wakes" HALO)
Swipe Left/Right - Swiping away from HALO allows you to scroll through notifications (if multiple notifications exist).

Also I had problems with HybridEngine and HybridProperties not remembering per app DPI and Layout settings :/ Now flashed SlimBean, I miss that rom
the backlight hardware button doesn't light off, and i can't find the setting to configure the timeout. another thing is, can you disable the soft navigation by default? kind of redundant, and the hardware button light not switching off bug just made it twice more annoying.

@FunkyRasta Can you be more specific? I belive that external SDcard is mounted on /storage/sdcard1 by default on CM 10.2. It shouldn't be much of a deal to change it, however I don't want to deviate from CM or PA standard is it's not really neccessary, where do you think external SD should be mounted?

No problem here mate, check the screenshots below.
Please make sure you followed procedure to install Xposed on 4.3
How to install Xposed on 4.3 based ROMs:
1. Install XposedInstaller_2.1.4.apk DON'T USE IT
2. Reboot to recovery and flash cwm-Xposed.JB4.3.Framework.Installer.zip
3. Reboot and use Xposed Installer to enable modules, etc.

[HOW-TO] Play games in full screen on the fly with expanded desktop + pie controls

If you're anything like me, you love the nav bar but HATE it when you're gaming. Well I just stumbled across a solution that made me the happiest person in the world. In this guide I will show you how to add a toggle to your quicksettings that will hide the navbar and give you pie controls on demand for full screen gaming or whenever you just want to ditch the navbar easily.
This method requires root, Xposed framework + GravityBox.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SCREW UP YOUR PHONE*
If you haven't already, download + install Xposed Framework.
Refer to this thread for framework + install instructions- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Download + install GravityBox and enable it in the Xposed Installer.
Get it here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049
Open GravityBox and go to Display tweaks. Enable Expanded desktop mode and set it to hide navigation bar (you can set it to hide the status bar as well if you like but this is not necessary to go full screen for gaming)
Go to Statusbar tweaks and hit Pie controls. Enable pie controls with the "when expanded desktop is on" setting. Now click Trigger positions and check the bottom and right border options. It would be wise to also shrink the trigger size down, so you don't accidentally hit it. I have mine set at 2px and you basically need to swipe in from the edge to bring up the pie.
Also in Statusbar tweaks, go to QuickSettings management and then Statusbar Quicksettings tiles. Select/deselect whatever tiles you want or don't want, just make sure that Expanded Desktop is selected.
if you enable the advanced reboot menu (power tweaks), you can toggle expanded desktop from there as well
Reboot your phone
Once this is all done, you can pull down your quicksettings shade and just hit the Expanded desktop toggle and your navbar will magically disappear and get replaced with pie controls. When done gaming, hit the toggle again and your navbar will reappear.
Bump for all the gamers!
I came from a Galaxy S4 so the perk there was enjoying the 5" screen without any on-screen buttons. Using your method I managed to hide the navbar completely and use pie.
Only differences I made is that PIE controls are active at all times and I changed the navbar height to 0 to completely hide it

Yeah I tried going the always PIE route and it got annoying after awhile. I like the navbar when just using the phone for normal stuff like browsing, but hate it when I'm playing a game. I had it shrunk to 30% when in landscape and that worked great for me up until I figured this out. This essentially gives us our own immersive mode that works on everything. Did this on my Moto X too.
Awesome! Was getting a bit fed up with the bar lurking at the side of the screen there.
What game is that first person shooter in your screenshot?

Left-handed OmniROM?

Hi,
When I turn my phone into landscape view the navbar always is on the right hand side. But I'm a Lefty - is there a way to have the navbar on the left?
*bump*
Any ideas anyone?
Interesting idea - this appears to be a default behaviour of Android - I would suggest you propose this as a feature request in jira (http://jira.omnirom.org).
I am surprised this hasn't come up before actually on other ROMs - anyone know if it's been done before?
Slimkat has support for this and you can decide where the Navbar appears in landscape mode and on which side of the screen recents appear. I believe that CyanogenMod also supports these and some other "left handed" features too.

I didn't find this in settings (sig isn't up to date, I'm using SlimKat actually) - do you mind pointing me to it?
